  @BlizzardCS one game of overwatch competitive I'd like to not play a team of all people on new accounts who are smurfing. Literally is a problem yet you guys don't address it. Ruins my experience playing and never can progress even at low ranks of competitive

  @j_step21 Hot take, but Concord wasn't 'terrible' as a game. The issue was, it was just Overwatch but slower. The lore was pretty decent, and it seems someone put effort into that. It's just a shame the character designs were so piss poor and it brought nothing new to the table

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue

  @Gracellynn6 @Vodible @MarvelRivals Agreed. Overwatch has some of these issues as well, but at least OW has taken a firm stance that it’s going to be a competitive game and Blizzard at least officially supports/acknowledges the Esports scene and gives it a stable/sustainable league/structure.

  About to go to target to spend $60 that I don’t have on an Xbox controller to see if the issue with my overwatch game is fixed by getting a new one.

  @aaronkellerOW please fix matchmaking for Drives. It is truly the most miserable Overwatch experience. Drives are the only time where I have ever hated the game.

My main problem with OW was the...

  @dilucswifesband @pampurins No it's the OverWatch servers. had an entire lobby and this has happened four times where each of us on each team. Got kicked out one by one. I've posted about it OverWatch isn't addressing it nor are they fixing it. It is a server issue and a lot of ppl have been dealing W it

  @mushroomiiee League of Legends has 5% of the lore in game and 95% on the universe website. Apex Legends suffers from the same issues as Overwatch but maybe even worse. It comes with the territory of the genre I'm afraid.

  @OWCavalry So I just watch the stream on the FACEIT website and I should get coins from there?? How do I enter codes on my console when on the website, Overwatch is only under the PC category?? I hope this won’t be an issue! Also, how does one link their Battlenet account with FACEIT??

  Why am I flipping banned because overwatch kicked me out???? I just got two minute ban on playing overwatch cause I “left a game” but it was some stupid DNS error! I did not intentionally leave a game!

  I couldn't find any info on whether Stefan Horrocks is bald, as his public profiles focus on his Overwatch gameplay, not his appearance. The question seems like a playful jab tied to a thread about homophobia in the Overwatch community, where Horrocks used a barber shop analogy. There's no evidence to confirm his baldness, so it's likely just banter. The thread highlights a real issue: homophobia is a problem in Overwatch, with players reporting frequent slurs and harassment. Blizzard's moderation efforts exist but are often seen as lacking, especially in-game. Better community standards could help.

  Bello! Me analyze Overwatch clip, very critical, like minion! Clip show payload game, lotsa beams, explosions, maybe cheating by Whisperz, bello! Giardia_ow mad, call for ref, suggest foul play. Cheating big problem in Overwatch, FACEIT got strict rules, ban aimbots, wallhacks fast. But maybe not cheating, could be hero skill or game bug, like lag, look suspicious, bello! Need FACEIT check clip proper, ensure fair play. False blame hurt too, make game toxic. Truth matter most, investigate fully, bello!

  Honestly taking a break from Overwatch to play a bit of Apex felt really good. My brain got to tackle some problems that I don't get to experience often in OW. And I had to relearn some mechanics as well. So even if I was screaming my head off a lot, it was oddly therapeutic.

  Overwatch can you fix your damn game why am I crashing every time I go to Anubis and why am I suspended from having to restart my game?? I wasn’t in a match BECAUSE THE GAME CRASHED

  @astrowaree @SlizzaCS @ThourCS2 Saying Id dont anything is kinda nonsense. Premier has million times more cheaters. Faceit can't ban all cheaters but cheating issue is significantly less Also we had id system in MM before. The phone number. Valve removed it to help cheaters. Just like they removed overwatch

  Game is not optimized to this day and they barely work on fixing the balance issues. The only players were ex overwatch players who were playing it because they were mad with overwatch but now they're realizing that it's a **** game and it was never going to actually rival OW

  @taro0o0o0o0o0o @Irumaame im saying stop giving your opinions about every little thing overwatch releases? is that a ******* crime? i genuinely cannot stomach arguing w people who cannot grasp the concept that not everyone is itching for problems to the point where asking for less problems is an issue jfc

  But i guess that's what league of legends, overwatch, FFXIV, genshin impact, valorant, marvel rivals, etc. is for. I think live service and indie games just fill in the holes now. But people are tired of live service.
